CNN Congressional correspondent Jessica Yellin Friday backed away and/or clarified remarks she made on Anderson Cooper 360 Thursday night that the press was under "enormous pressure from corporate executives" to present a war consistent with the nation's "patriotic fervor" and from news executives to "put on positive stories about the president." But that didn't do much to appease her former employer, MSNBC, which called her a disgruntled short-term employee whose comments should be discounted.
